“I was completely confused with building department requirements until I found Permitech. The permit check told me exactly what I needed, and the Done For You team handled the rest. Saved me from weeks of headaches on my new shed.”
“I couldn’t find anything on my own about building codes and permits, and every site said something different! Permitech was the only one who reached out, and that is much appreciated. They’re on to something good that will help people.”
For contractors
Built for crews that pull permits every month.
Bid from the real requirements
The department's requirements and fees become line items before you quote, so the permit, its drawings and its fees are in the bid instead of a change order.
Every permit on one board
Control Tower shows each job's permit status, blockers, approvals and owner, across every town you build in.
Hand off the counter
Concierge runs submittals, corrections, resubmittals and inspection scheduling for your jobs. For a single project, Done For You starts at $199.
Step 01 of 06
Every permit your team runs, on one board.

For building departments: the same record, from your side of the counter.
- Applicants arrive prepared, with the department's own requirements and next steps.
- Your knowledge stays yours. Internal, resident-facing and shared are separate decisions.
- Calibrated with your staff on one or two permit types before it opens to residents.
The Posted Card
Every project gets one record, and everyone works from it.
The lot, the rules, each approval and its sign-off, and the people on the job, from the first address check to the final inspection. Pick who you are: the card marks the box you owe, and filling it lands the stamp.
I'm a…
Pre-check the lot and the code for every job before you bid: zoning, setbacks, easements, flood zones, fees and review times. Every job's card sits on one Control Tower board your whole team works from.
See the parcel, the zoning and the requirements with their sources before you draw. Get invited to the project's record and deliver the sheets assigned to you, with every revision kept on the card.
Follow a property's permits as a viewer on its record: what was filed, what was approved, and what is still open, without chasing anyone for an update.
Check your address and see what your project needs before you build: the lot, the rules that apply, and who issues the permit. File it yourself with the Permit Package, or have a Permitech permit technician file it for you.
The permit check is free.
